    So, according to my calculations, within one year a breeding pair of mice can result in a population of . . . My "total mice" count is broken. :( But I got 229 generations, and one of them had 256,077 mice. # #

      @doctorscribus Okay, that's (arguably) better. "In one year, from a single breeding pair, 1,102,342 mice may spring into being." I genuinely doubt this. How do I program in mortality? I thought an artificially lowered birthrate would cover it, but I am SO wrong!

        @doctorscribus i think you should make another funtion to subtract the dead mice from the total

          @mushi I'll need to create dead mice first.

              @mushi And I don't know how mouse mortality works (mathematically, at least)! XD

                @doctorscribus well, you could research the lifespan of a mous, and see how many times a mouse reproduce in their life time.than you can subtract a mouse after a certai number of generations

                @doctorscribus a site told me that a mouse can have 1500 "children" so maybe you coud subtract a mouse from each 1500 mice, but that sounds way to simple to work
